    Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

    npm is a package manager for JavaScript.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File. The CLI supports URLs like <protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.

    Arbitrary File Write

    npm is a package manager for JavaScript.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write. It fails to prevent access to folders outside of the intended node_modules folder through the bin field.

    For npm, a properly constructed entry in the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to modify and/or gain access to arbitrary files on a user’s system when the package is installed. This behaviour is possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

    How to fix Arbitrary File Write?

    Upgrade npm to version 6.13.3 or higher.

    <6.13.3

    Unauthorized File Access

    npm is a package manager for JavaScript.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unauthorized File Access. It is possible for packages to create symlinks to files outside of thenode_modules folder through the bin field upon installation.

    For npm, a properly constructed entry in the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to create a symlink pointing to arbitrary files on a user’s system when the package is installed. This behaviour is possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

    How to fix Unauthorized File Access?

    Upgrade npm to version 6.13.3 or higher.

    <6.13.3

    Arbitrary File Overwrite

    npm is a package manager for JavaScript.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a serve binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a serve binary would overwrite the first binary. This only affects files in /usr/local/bin.

    For npm, this behaviour is still allowed in local installations and also through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

    How to fix Arbitrary File Overwrite?

    Upgrade npm to version 6.13.4 or higher.

    <6.13.4

    Access Restriction Bypass

    npm is a package manager for JavaScript.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions due to ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.

    How to fix Access Restriction Bypass?

    Upgrade npm to version 5.7.1 or higher.

    <5.7.1
